The DailyGazette.com reports that Amsterdam High School SR DE/TE Nick Liverio will suit up for the Statesmen this fall. Liverio had 82 tackles, including five sacks, for the "Rugged Rams" in his senior season. The Rams went 9-1 in 2011, advancing to the Section II Class A title game, falling by three points to Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake. For his efforts Liverio was named to the 2011 NORTHWEST DIVISION ALL-STAR team.
What's interesting about Liverio is he comes from a true "football family", having been coached by his father Pat the last four seasons. Pat, who retired after this fall, lead the Rams program for 16 seasons as head coach, not including 12 prior seasons as part of the Amsterdam High football coaching staff. Coach Liverio had an impressive record at Amsterdam and an article chronciling his career can be found here:

Hopefully Coach Liverio will enjoy his retirement and coming up to Geneva to see his son play at Hobart. In the Gazette article Nick was clearly impressed by Hobart stating:
“It’s big-time football there,” Liverio said of Hobart, which went 7-2 overall for its 15th straight winning season under coach Mike Cragg. “They take their football very seriously. When I was there, it felt like a Division I program, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
